You know the drill!!

This one was for my brother-in-law - a carpenter/joiner by trade! Love the colours of the topper. 

I used Hunkydory's Pick & Mix -You're Tool-rific, with some gold mirror card and yellow and brown Core'dinations card. The letters were cut with Crafter's Companion Diamond Block Alpha.

Unfortunately the Core'dinations came away from the mirror card in the post - am hoping it was just because I didn't use enough!

Happy crafting,

The First Post....

 ... of the New Year! Bit late but better late than never. So, have already had family birthdays this month, and here's the first of them.

This one was for my Mother-In-Law, made using Hunkydory Wonderful Women - A House For Flowers, and card from their Floral Delights card block.

A lovely pretty card to start the year!

Happy crafting,

More Heavenly Hummingbirds

This one was for my sister - and another one made with the Heavenly Hummingbirds from Hunkydory's In Full Plume collection.

Just a little bit of Core'dinations and silver mirror cards was all that was needed for this one. Along with stonking big bow!!

Happy crafting, and may I wish you all a much better 2021 - we all deserve it!

Mum's Birthday

For my Mum's birthday, I used this topper from a very old collection I think I bought from Create and Craft. 

It's a very pretty topper, with equally gorgeous cardstock. If memory serves me right, the old Kanban were the manufacturers of this.

I added a bit of purple and blue Core'dinations card, along with some silver mirror card, all finished off with a bow and some flat-backed pearls.

Happy crafting,

Heavenly Hummingbirds

This card was for my niece, using Hunkydory's In Full Plume "Heavenly Hummingbirds".

The co-ordinating patterned card is from the set, and I used some silver mirror card, and teal card from Papermill. The letters are cut with the alphabet set from Crafter's Companion Kinetic Card collection.

Happy crafting,

The last of the Christmas Cards

These are the final two cards to share from my Christmas makes. They were batch made for my groups of friends, using my lovely new Tim Holtz Stamping Platform.

The first is a Crafter's Companion stamp called Floral Festivities. I stamped it with Crafter's Companion Harmony Waterproof Ink in Pebble, and used the Spectrum Noir Crystal Clear Sparkle pen to "colour" it in. The base card is Centura Pearl Hint of Silver, and I used some gunmetal grey pearl card from my stash. 

   

I also embossed some plain white card with a very old A4 Crafter's Companion Snowflake folder, to create a layer with texture.

The other card uses the same materials, but the stamp is Papermania - Stockings.

   

I hope that all of you have a peaceful day, however you are spending it.

Happy Christmas,

More Christmas Cards

While I love my Hunkydory, here are some of the other Christmas cards from this year's makes. 

Firstly, this little bunch were using toppers from Hobby House.

   

   

And this lot were with an old Create and Craft set.

  

And all of these were with various Crafter's Companion goodies - some of which I have posted earlier in the year.

  

  

  

Happy crafting - and Happy Christmas.
